It’s people like you who need to be involuntarily quarantined, you absolute gob****e :mad:

People keep making a very basic error, the total population of a country is irrelevant, the relevant population is that % which realistically have the potential to be infected.

Also the number confirmed is not comparable as it is subject to just too many variable.

Isolation, travel bans, and ruthlessly stamping stamping out the sparks hitting other population centres reduces the latter % significantly, as in may have done in China's case.

Wuhan has a population of ~11M and Hubei ~60M, so Wuhan is about 18.33%

Hubei/China 60M/1428M = 4.20% of population of China (2017).
Lombardy/Italy 10.04M/60.48M =16.60% (2018).

Extent Hubei 185,900 km²/China 9.597 million km² = 0.002%
Extent Lombardy 23,844 km²./Italy 301,338 km² = 7.91%

Hubei
Lombardy 10.04/23844 .004/km²
.003/km²

There is already a treatment. Interferon Alpha 2B. Cuba develped it in the 1980's and have been flying their doctors all over the world to implement the treatment. They are currently in Italy after having worked in China and South Korea where the cases dropped dramatically since their intervention.

:rolleyes:

Stupid claim I have seen during this crisis.

Not all of us . We live in a cul de sac and no children playing together . Occasionally one dad brings one child out to kick a ball . The others wait till they are in and the next one comes out

The stalls were up the town today, town was bustling partial shutdown wont work.

Spanish Eyes · 19-03-2020 07:41PM

WFH so it's grand.

Don't laugh at me, but when I go out for a walk (on my own), I wear surgical gloves underneath other gloves and I don't give a fk who thinks that's mad.

It may be useless, but gives me a bit of confidence. I watched the YouTube about how to remove surgical gloves correctly, for the record. The outer gloves go into quarantine in a basin of milton and washing up liquid outside the back door, I have three changes.

Am gonna look ridiculous when the weather gets warmer, but I won't care either. Every little helps.

The brother earlier slagged me and said I'm a model for contracting it. LOL with much touching of wood.

7 people in ICU.

Earlier on RTE quoted Monday’s figure that out of the 226 cases 86% required hospitalisation why such a high figure is that a quarantine measure ? or is it that those cases were very serious?

only 6 were in ICU.
so most were just being isolated

Absolutely and add the Liverpool fans that went to Anfield to that.

And add anyone who went panic shopping, add anyone that didnt quarantine when the first case in china came out. How far do we go back. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

This exactly. You can't even pick up a packet of biscuits at the shop without running the risk they have been touched by someone infected and the risk gets higher by the day. Avoiding this will be blind luck rather than being fastidious.

I washed all our shopping yesterday with soapy water

Its kind of an all or nothing deal though - non compliance by a handful of individuals puts front line people at risk

This is very good: Covid-19 Interactive Model

https://neherlab.org/covid19/

Projects the estimated cases with a lot of detail, and allows the effects of mitigation to be modelled.

Just being honest. Actually a little less than honest as I was in the pub Saturday after the party also. All of you clueless basement dwellers and herd animals can shrivel away in your homes.

billyhead · 19-03-2020 07:45PM

Out for a solo stroll earlier and people are simply not observing the social distance requirements. Hanging around in groups and up close to one another. We really are a stupid nation.

What are you getting out of lying?

Anyone who thinks the total of diagnosed cases = the actual number of cases in the country is missing the point. There is a multiple of actual cases versus positive tests.

Keep on restricting person to person to contact and diligent hygiene. The test result numbers are no cause for panic but they are a reminder of the need to commit to fighting spread.

I was in AIB Castletroy, Limerick to put some money into my bank card.

Over at their online banking section there are two banking ports side by side. Two customers and two bank employees were very close together. Found it usually.

Would have been better if they only have one of the ports working.

86 cases not 86%

Both. Early on everyone was isolated. More recent hospitalisations are only more serious cases.

I thought GPs don't do the testing? An ambulance will come to your house

But it’s the GP who orders the test.
